I have an old Philco Ford freezer and I am going to convert it to a kegerator. The freezer lines are incorporated into the racks inside and the line runs out the back. There is a large wire manifold on the back. I don't want to assume that the sides are just filled with insulation. Is there anyone who knows where I should drill my holes for the air lines and probe safely?

You could always drills from the inside and make a very shallow hole, then remove the insulation and use a flashlight to determine if you are near any coils. I drilled a 3/8" hole in mine and found the coil lines and then just drilled a pilot and finished up from the outside.

Yup, that's how i've done it, too.

Thread hijack (or tangential diversion, anyway). I have a similar old upright freezer with coolant lines built into the shelves...how do you (or did you, for those who have been through this) move or remove shelves to fit cornies or carboys in the freezer?
